You may be riding on your motorcycle and suddenly get struck by a car that moved into your right-of-way as the driver changed lanes. While you did nothing wrong, in some cases the insurance company may try to pin some of the blame on you. An insurance company representative may try to low ball your claim or deny your claim entirely.
It doesn't seem fair, but insurance companies often will routinely assume the motorcycle rider was at fault in an accident. Unfortunately, bikers are still saddled with the unfair reputation of being speed demons or reckless riders, even when they are productive, law-abiding citizens who simply love to ride.
At the Law Offices of Goodman Acker P.C., we fight hard for the rights of our clients who have been injured in motorcycle accidents or who have lost loved ones in motorcycle wrecks, leading to possible wrongful death lawsuits. Statistics show that two-thirds of motorcycle accidents involve a car violating a motorcyclist's right of way. Many times, the driver tells police he or she did not "see" the motorcycle on the roadway.
The insurance companies don't make it easy for motorcycle accident victims. In general, motorcycle riders are not eligible for personal injury protection (PIP) benefits through no-fault insurance. You will have to rely on your own health insurance unless you can recover from the at-fault driver or a third party who was negligent in the accident. If you have been in a motorcycle accident, contact our firm as soon as possible so we can deal with the insurance company for you.
